Photo Compensation Notes(:

snapshot- is a quick shot, taken to record a moment.


photograph- taken with care and thought.


rule of thirds- imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. (below)

  • place the important subject where the lines intersect.
  • place the horizon lines to the top or bottom of the horizontal divider.
  • for close up, use whole screen.

leading lines- use the lines created within the foreground of the composition to lead viewer's eye through photo.


lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.


point of view- change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position.


tall pictures, take looking upwards.


take towards to see more of it.


simplicity- keep your background simple & clear of clutter. move yourself to make it more interesting. mood gets changed by background.


chaotic composition will cause viewer  to look away.
